Donovan Clingan thread - already off topic and not worth reading unless you are CL82, his fans, or are at work or too drunk to do anything else

Seems like nothing but positives coming from the board.

But it IS Tuesday.......

I knew Andre was 90% to UConn for like a year. Totally different case than Sanogo. With Sanogo it was us and Seton Hall... we aren't ready to compete with Duke yet if they're seriously after a kid... need a few years of lottery picks for that

Except that isn't Coach K's Duke. We don't really know if Scheyer will be able to keep that dominant level of recruiting going. I tend to lean against Filipowski being truly attainable for us at this point, but if we end up stealing him because he's not that enamored with Scheyer, I wouldn't be shocked.

Scheyer was responsible for recruiting all of their recent 5 stars.

It's a lot easier to recruit when you can point to the guy with a fistful of titles. Duke was bringing in elite talent when Capel was their main recruiter, too. How has that translated to his recruiting Pitt?

Pittsburgh isn't Duke. Scheyer is staying at Duke, therefore it will be different.

I would double like this post if I could! While the recruiter is certainly important, the kids know who’s running the ship. The HC is what sells it in the end!

So.... he was duke's bag man?

Scheyer certainly in a better position, and for the record, I think Filipowski likely ends up at Duke. But merely promoting your top recruiter doesn't mean you'll maintain that level of recruiting. There's a reason that K has been dominating recruiting for a decade with a series of different recruiters, and none of them have succeeded anywhere else.

He knows how to recruit.

Duke recruits Duke

 

[CL82]

Duke recruits Duke

Yep, unless Scheyer poops the bed, that will continue to be true although almost certainly not to the same extent.

The Filipowski Thread is down the hallway, in the other room. Take it down there please.

Hopefully, Scheyer is Ollie 2.0 (without the national title part....).

Scheyer could urinate on the carpet of each of the top 50 recruits during an official and half would still verbal to Duke.

It's an incredible skill, "Come to Duke."

True, but remember... once they commit to Duke, the family gets a new home anyways.
